Ordinance Amendment to Add Temporary Shutoff Option and Utility Service Abandonment/Demolition Request Form

The District has received numerous inquiries regarding the financial burden imposed by existing reinstatement fees following permanent abandonment of utility services. To provide property owners with greater flexibility while protecting District assets and revenue, staff proposes amendments to Chapters 5 and 7 of the District’s Utility Ordinance to introduce a Temporary Shutoff option(with smaller fee) alongside Permanent Abandonment. A new Utility Service Abandonment/Demolition Request form will formalize the process.If approved, staff will proceed to incorporate the ordinance amendments into the District Code, and adopt the new abandonment form into operational procedures. Staff will communicate the new options and procedures to customers and provide training to relevant staff to ensure smooth implementation. A formal resolution adopting these changes will be presented to the Board for approval at the next regular meeting.
